I have always been a HUGE Clemson fan - was at the famous game between the Buckeyes and the Tigers in Columbus - but our daughter goes to USC. Even tho she was valedictorian, with many scholastic scholarships, she couldn't get into Clemson as a Bio major. Argh.

I was born and raised a Gamecock - had to be as my dad did undergraduate work there as well as graduating from the USC School of Law. We've always been taught to pull for the Gamecocks first, then whoever is playing Clemson.

My husband is a big Georgia fan which doesn't cause too many problems until the Cocks and the Dawgs meet!

I have to say S.C. is lucky though to have two such strong schools - both academically and athletically.
